The /tmp dir hasn't got sufficient permissions for 'everybody' or 'IUSR_[computername]' to read/write session files.

Who knows which user account appache uses on a windows platform? (IIS/Win or Apache/Linux here).

Where ever php is installed, say C:\PHP, create a folder called 'sessiondata' in C:\PHP.

Right click the "C:\PHP\sessiondata" folder, click on the security tab and add 'everyone' with full control permissions.

Open your php.ini file and change the following directive:

session.save_path = C:\PHP\sessiondata

If you php directory path has any spaces in it, the path needs to go into quotes and the backslashes escaped.

While you're at it, rinse and repeat for your temp upload folder. Create the folder C:\PHP\uploadtemp and change the directive in php.ini :

upload_tmp_dir = C:\PHP\uploadtemp

... and apply full control permissions to 'everyone'.

This will be the folder that temp files are stored by the server when forms include file inputs.
